SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Installation & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Placement of Your Oven

1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.

For proper operation, the oven must have

sufficient air flow. Allow 3" ( 8 cm ) of space on

both sides of the oven and 6" ( 15 cm ) of space

on top of the oven.

a. DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked

during operation, the oven may overheat. If

the oven overheats, a thermal safety device

will turn the oven off. The oven will remain

inoperable until it has cooled.

b. DO NOT place the oven near a hot, damp

surface such as a gas or electric range, or

dishwasher.

c. DO NOT operate the oven when room

humidity is too high.

2. This oven was manufactured for household use

only.

3. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if

desired, by using the proper trim kit, which may

be purchased from a local dealer.

Follow all installation instructions packed with

kit.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an

electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current. This appliance is equipped with a

cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is

properly installed and grounded.

WARNING--Improper use of the grounding plug

can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if

the grounding instructions are not completely

understood, or if it is uncertain whether the

appliance is properly grounded or not.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only

a three wire extension cord that has a three-blade

grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will

accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating

of the extension cord should be equal to, or greater

than, the electrical rating of the appliance.

Power Supply

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce

the risks resulting from becoming entangled in

or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are

available and may be used if care is exercised in

their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the

marked electrical rating of the cord set or

extension cord should be at least as great as

the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the

extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire

cord, and (3) the longer cord should be

arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on

by children or tripped over accidentally.

Wiring Requirements

1. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT.

No other appliance should share the circuit with

the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit

fuse may blow or the circuit breaker may trip, or

the food may cook slower than recommended in

this manual.

2. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as

specified on this microwave oven (120 V). Using

a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in

a fire or other accident causing oven damage.

Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking.

Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage

resulting from the use of the oven with other

than specified voltage.

3. The oven must be plugged into at least a 20

AMP, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET.

Where a standard two-prong outlet is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the consumer

to have it replaced with

three-prong outlet.

4. A TEMPORARY CONNECTION with a two-

prong adapter may be made where LOCAL

CODES PERMIT it. Unless the cover screw is

grounded through the house wiring, attaching

the adapter grounding plate

to the cover screw wil! not

ground the oven. If there is _ _

any doubt that the cover " _j'_ ._Y

screw is grounded, have it

checked by an electrician.

Radio Interference

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause

interference to your radio, TV or similar

equipment.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or

eliminated by taking the following measures:

a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven

(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on

page 24 )

b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the

microwave oven as far as possible.

c. Use a properly installed antenna to obtain

stronger signal reception.

Fan Motor Operation

After using the oven, the fan rotate to cook the

electric components. This is perfectly normal, and

you can take out the food from the oven while the

fan operates.

Practical Hints

Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven

1) HOME CANNING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL

QUANTITIES OF FOODS

• Do not use your

combination oven for

home canning or the

heating of any closed

jar. Pressure will build

up and the jar may

explode, In addition, the

combination oven

cannot maintain the

food at the proper

canning temperature. Improperly canned food

may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

• Small quantities of food or foods with low

moisture content can dry out, burn on catch on

fire. If a fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven

door closed. Disconnect the power cord or shut

off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in

your oven.

IMPORTANT

Proper cooking depends on time set and

weight of food. If you use a smaller portion

than recommended and cook at the time for

the recommended portion, fire can result.

If a fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven

door closed. Disconnect the power cord or

shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker

panel.

2) POPCORN

Popcorn must be popped in a microwave oven

corn popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in its

own package is also available. Fellow popcorn

manufacturers' directions and use a brand

suitable for the wattage of your combination oven.

Never leave oven unattended when popping

popcorn.

CAUTION:

When using pre-packaged microwave

popcorn, follow recommended package

instructions.

Check package weight before using the

popcorn pad. Set the oven for the weight of

the popcorn package. (see page 16)

If these instructions are not followed, the

popcorn may not pop adequately or may

ignite and cause a fire.

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

• Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave

oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal

temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven.

Temperatures can climb high enough for the

cooking oils to reach their respective flash points

and burst into flames.

Thebubbleheatedoil may _ _'/_

and spatter _/_

causing possible

damage to the oven

and perhaps resulting

in burns. Additionally,

microwave-safe utensils

may not be able to

withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and

could result in the utensil shattering if it contains

even a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.

EGGS

Do not heat eggs in

their shell in a

microwave oven.

Pressure will build

up and the eggs will

explode.

5) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS

• Potatoes, apples,

egg yolks, whole

squash and

sausages are

examples of foods

with nonporous

skins. This type of

food must be

pierced before

cooking, to prevent their bursting.

LIQUIDS

Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do

not heat liquids in your microwave oven without

first stirring.

Practical Hints

7) CERAMICTRAY / COOKING UTENSILS / FOIL

• Cooking utensils get hot during cooking. Use

potholders when removing utensils and Glass

Tray from the oven or when removing lids or

plastic wrap covers from cooking utensils to

avoid burns.

• Ceramic Tray will get hot during cooking. It

should be allowed to cool before handling or

before paper products, such as paper plates,

napkins or microwave popcorn bags, are placed

in the oven for microwave cooking.

• During cooking, heat is transferred from the hot

food to the cooking utensil and from the utensil

to Ceramic Tray. Ceramic Tray can be very hot

after removing cooking utensils from oven.

• When using foil, skewers, warming rack or

utensils made of metal in the oven, allow at least

1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between metal material

and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs

(sparking) remove metal material (skewers etc.)

and/or transfer to a non-metallic container.

• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used

during Microwave or Combination cooking,

arcing may occur,

8) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS

• Do not use paper

towels or cloths

which contain a

synthetic fiber

woven into them.

The synthetic fiber

may cause the towel

to ignite.

• Do not use paper

bags or recycled

paper products in

the microwave oven.

9) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

• Microwave browning dishes or grills are

designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating

times vary depending on the size of the

browning dish and food being cooked. Always

follow instructions provided by the browning dish

or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning

dish more than 8 minutes.

• If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave

cooking, prepare according to package

directions. Do not use wire twist-tie to close bag.

Instead use nylon tie, a piece of cotton string or

a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make

six 1/2-inch slits by closure. Place oven cooking

bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being

cooked.

10) THERMOMETERS

• Do not use a conventional meat thermometer for

Microwave or Combination cooking. Arcing may

occur. Do not use a microwave meat

thermometer for Combination cooking or Bake. It

may melt.

11)BABY FORMULA / FOOD

• Do not heat baby formula or food in the

microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the

food may appear warm while the interior can

burn the infant's mouth and esophagus.

12)REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS

• When reheating pastry products, check

temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some

foods have fillings which heat faster and can be

extremely hot while the surface remains warm to

the touch (ex. Jelly Donuts).

13)GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES / OVEN

DOOR

• Do not use the oven for any reason other than

the preparation of food.

• Do not leave oven unattended while in use.

• The oven door and the interior walls will get hot

during Combination, Bake and Broil cooking.
